Selected

TOWSON, Md. — Of the eight teams honored today by the
Landmark Conference for sportsmanship, three were Goucher squads.
Women's tennis, women's lacrosse and women's outdoor track and
field were recognized by their peers.

The Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)
created a Sportsmanship Cup in the fall of 2009 and, by the end of
the current academic year, one institution will be awarded the
coveted trophy. The Landmark SAAC Sportsmanship Cup is designed to
recognize the Landmark institution that demonstrates the best
overall sportsmanship over the course of the year. The Cup is
awarded based on a formula that compiles the votes of each Landmark
head coach in consultation with his or her team captains, ranking

This spring, the teams that were selected as the best

Landmark Conference crowns a champion were:
